Trump has: -Cut protections for national monuments to open them up for mining -Pushed to open up our national forests for construction and logging -Proposed building data centers on thousands of acres of federal lands Nothing is sacred to this regime. It acts solely on behalf of the oligarchy.

Some of the worst cuts of Trump's Big, Ugly Bill take effect in Minnesota today. Thousands of Minnesotans will lose their Medicaid. $32 million in SNAP cuts will force kids to go hungry. At the same time, Trump's billionaire besties get tax breaks for another private plane.

I actually don't think the Republican Senator mixed up "Hawks" and "Hawkeyes." Going by his own statements, it appears his staff saw he went to a basketball game on that date and googled basketball games and found the only men's game that night in the whole country was in Atlanta.

This isn't talked about enough & shows how profoundly unfair giving the President legal immunity is, to everyone under them in the chain of command. Add to this that most of the people who end up facing legal consequences are usually farther down in the chain of command (see Abu Ghaib).

A recent survey found that 92% of U.S. adults have delayed or avoided medical care due to high costs. Meanwhile, a new study from Yale estimates that Medicare for All would save over 114,000 lives and $1 trillion a year. If this country was truly “pro-life,” we would have universal healthcare.

I sued the insulin cartel and cut the cost of insulin from hundreds per month to just $35. That’s making life more affordable. If you don't think you can make life more affordable, you shouldn't be running, Ron.

The administration has provided zero evidence that these are drug traffickers, and even if they were, there are legal processes for their arrest and trial. What we DO know is that the administration has stopped pursuing actual drug cases to go after immigrants instead.

America’s far right has Nazis. America’s far left wants people to be able to afford rent, healthcare and groceries. The desperate insistence that these are mirror-image "extremes" is one of the dumbest conceits in political journalism.
